The ''protocell'' is a mathematical model of a self-maintaining unity based on the dynamics of simple reaction-diffusion processes and a self- controlled dynamics of the surface. In this paper its spatio-temporal behaviour far from the stationary structure is investigated by means of a boundary layer approximation. It is shown in detail how a simplified and mathematically feasible equation can be derived from the original parabolic problem. It turns out that the known instability which is initiated in the linear region around the stationary structure is continued further in the direction to a division by nonlinear dynamics.
